Li Yinan and others naturally said yes directly and chatted with them. Li Ke went to visit Li Daozong's table. The people at this table were basically members of the clan. Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong were all at this table. .
"I have met His Highness."
"You princes, please don't be polite. Strictly speaking, you are all my elders." Li Ke quickly saluted and said with a smile.
"Your Highness's heart is mainly about the Prince of Jiangxia. Hahaha." Li Xiaogong said with a smile.
"That's natural. Who asked my father-in-law to raise a good daughter-in-law for me?" Li Ke said nonchalantly. He was so afraid of this. Although he had never been a son-in-law in his previous life, his experience was considerable. It's rich.
The first time you go to my father-in-law's house, be more diligent with your words and actions, and the most important thing is to be more generous. Eat and drink when you should, and don't be cautious. After a meeting, unless you are particularly picky or in other respects I'm not satisfied with you. Other than that, I'm basically satisfied with you.
After going there a few more times, it will be done.
After your father-in-law and others recognize you, you should be more generous and take the initiative to close the relationship with them. After you get married, your father-in-law and others will be your strong backing.
It's a pity that Li Ke was experienced in his previous life, but he was not married. Of course, these are not his pure theories. He had a girlfriend. After they finally separated due to various reasons, the contact information between him and his ex-girlfriend was gone anyway. His ex-girlfriend's parents still called him occasionally.
Upon hearing Li Ke's words, Li Daozong smiled all over his face, "Haha, Your Highness is very happy." Li Xiaogong and others said with a smile.
"A real man was born in heaven and earth. If there is anything he shouldn't admit, just like him." Li Ke said with a smile.
"Indeed, I will be waiting to drink your highness's wedding wine this year." Another clan member next to him also said with a smile.
"Don't worry, we will definitely have good wine by then." Li Ke said generously. He still has a lot of Maotai and Wuliangye in his warehouse. These wines cannot be brewed in this era. He will definitely have to serve them at his wedding by then. .
"Cheng Heizi, are you related to your highness today?" Li Daozong, who had been sitting next to him and smiling, asked at this time.
The clan members at this table are all relatively close to Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong. Since some of them have been asked, it can be proven.
"No, he did it on his own. If I wanted to do something, I would never have done it for others." Li Ke shook his head simply.
At this time, the importance of Li Ke's long-term personality was reflected. When he said this, people at this table believed it after just a brief thought, because Li Ke did have this character. If he did anything, it would not be possible at all. Don't be afraid of using false hands to others.
"Your Highness, do you think this matter should be pushed forward?" Li Xiaogong asked.
"To a certain extent, he has hit the key point of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke nodded, and did not hide it from Li Xiaogong and the others. The Imperial Trust of the Tang Dynasty has drawn all the clans into an interest group.
Naturally, the first wave of clans had the most to eat. Just the fixed allocation given to them by the Royal Trust last year allowed them to see the advantages of the entire trust.
At present, the royal trust is operated by Li Ke's personnel, and the laws of the Tang Dynasty have not been completely changed.
However, because each clan originally did not pay much, the monthly fixed living expenses paid to each member of the clan last year was not a small amount.
The most important thing is that they all discovered a benefit, that is, the trust is not their own money. When it is distributed to the children of their own family, no matter how much the monthly money is this month, they will not be able to go to the trust to get it.
Also, when some incompetent heirs in the family want to deduct the monthly money from their concubine, they cannot succeed because the trust is not the steward of their house.
Although the housekeepers in their houses may give face to the concubines and they will get more resources from their own houses, some concubines and side branches are no longer generally oppressed.
At this point, all concubines, side branches, etc. must support the trust.
As for the heads of the family, there is a saying that concubines are also sons. Some people may prefer sons of concubines, but they just don't show it.
With trust, they will have more excuses, and many conflicts in the back house can be reduced a lot.
Therefore, the attitude of these clans towards trusts has changed greatly. At least Li Ke knew about it. Many people, such as Li Xiaogong, used the excuse of trust requirements to directly donate a lot of property to the trust.
Then they even entrusted it to some wives and concubines in their back houses to distribute monthly money.
In fact, Li Ke knew some of the advantages of family trusts before the trust was officially put into operation, but the description of some advantages in words was far less direct than reality.
Especially families in ancient times with many wives and concubines are more suitable for trust trusteeship than modern times, because from a certain perspective, trusts really treat everyone equally.
It was only after more than a year of operation that Li Ke saw the advantages of family trust more intuitively.
In the simplest and most straightforward terms, it reduces the internal conflicts of many large families, especially those arising from the distribution of interests. It cannot be said that it has been completely solved, but at least a large part of it has been solved.
For a family head like Li Xiaogong, whose palms and backs are full of flesh, he usually cannot pay too much attention to concubines due to secular rules, but with family trust, he doesn't have to worry.
Therefore, family trust is a very strange thing. People like the first heir do not like it very much, but the head of the family who can really speak is very supportive, and is even willing to add property to ensure the development of the family trust. At this time, no one else has Decision-making power.
After the heir inherits something that belongs to him, he will soon discover the benefits of trust. Some things are just like this.
Therefore, the current clan has completely become a whole.
After the Royal Trust is completely formed based on the Law of the Tang Dynasty in the future, this system will obviously be more complete.
"Then should we suggest to His Majesty that we change the title system? Completely eliminate the hereditary system?" Li Xiaogong asked.
As long as the interests are guaranteed, no one will care about such an honor as a knighthood.
"Aren't you afraid that your descendants will blame you?" Li Ke looked at the people on the table and asked, somewhat dumbfounded.
"My son often complains to me that he lives in my shadow. After he goes out, when others say to him, he is Li Chongyi, the eldest son of the King of Hejian County, not Li Chongyi. Since he thinks so, then he wants this What is the title of a county king for? This is obviously the case in every family." Li Xiaogong said with a smile.
Li Ke was a little speechless. Young people are ignorant and rebellious. If you don't regret it now, it doesn't mean you won't regret it in the future. Aren't you cheating your own descendants?
"Aren't you trying to trick people?" Li Ke looked at them helplessly and asked.
"The royal trust was proposed by Your Highness, and the revocation of the hereditary title was not proposed by the ministers." Li Xiaogong blinked.
Li Ke: "..." What a big pot.
"Forget it, after the Lantern Festival, gather the young people from all the families together and I'll talk to them." Li Ke thought for a while, no, I won't take the blame.
